As the interview was closing mrs. Amaral picked up the list and said she would like to ask this question - about Control Risk Group (sorry haven't got the exact question at hand now)

Mr. Amaral said Control Risk Group were private detectives, or should he say private soldiers, who were there almost immediately and their aim was to 'solidify' the abduction story. [..]

Finally, she asked if I had seen the fragment of the Oprah show where Kate does the 'pfffffffffffff' thing.She had seen it this morning, and said it was too silly, if the curtains were open how could they 'pffffffffffff'?Also: on that night there was no wind.

I remember that. Amaral was in Amsterdam for the presentation of the Dutch version of his book and on that occasion a very select number of people were invited to speak with him and his wife. Kazlux was one of them.

Thank you for drawing our attention to this article. I never new the dogs went though the Church and nearby drainage system. Old McCann ever the control freak cancelled the wife's request for sedation analysis, imagine my surprise. The good detective clearly know a significant amount of real info that has never seen the light of day through our gutter press mechanism. Well I look forward to the day that when it's all over and justice prevails.

Thank you for posting this, very interesting. Especially because there's the only thing I don't agree with Mr Amaral, that she was last seen on the 3rd. Of course he knows many things regarding the case that we don't, but I don't agree with that for many reasons.

Well it does show that that the PJ weren't the "stupid plod" that the UK newspapers would have them being put down in history as, but that they were keeping things very much close to their chests and out of the public eye as all good police forces should do on an ongoing case.

I've never seen this article before but thank you "The Rooster" for bringing that to our attentiion.

It does give some hope to the ongoing SY investigation that there are a lot of facts that the public do not know about, as in the April Jones case.

I found this piece and wondered if anyone knows, or has an idea, who the female key witness may have been?

Goncalo Amaral said that "he and other persons" believe Madeleine is dead and was preparing to bring to Portugal a 'key witness', on the day the head PJ decided to replace him with Paulo Rebelo, in the investigation of Madeleine's disappearance. "That key witness never came to Portugal and (PJ) never took her statement", Amaral told the 'Expresso'.

Thanks for the link Admin. Umm... I wonder....If Mr Amaral was quoted, verbatim, then it would imply he was making a reference to just one person as he says,' key witness' and 'her' statement. Interesting!

According to the files Mr Martin Smith made another statement, but Mrs Smith did not want to make another statement, therefore she could be the 'key witness' Here near the bottom of the page....

I took an additional statement from Mr Smith as requested. His wife does not want to make another statement.

IIRC Amaral has mentioned his frustration about the fact that there was no documentation as to what the T9 were wearing that evening. IMO that had something to do with a possible change of clothes during the evening ... Or maybe a confirmation as to when KM was wearing the odorous pants of ganga?

@plebgate wrote:SY detectives will be talking with Mr. Amaral presumably? Why wouldn't they? Should be a very interesting discussion.

Long ago, Amaral said he was prepared to witnesse against the McCanns, in a trial about the death. I believe that he still is. And I believe that he wants to talk to the Yard too. On that interview, he says 15 alleles are accepted as proof, in England, may angels be blessed.I think the trial will happen in England. They accept the alleles, the fraudulent fund comes from there, Tapas 7 idem... too good to be true.And less expenses for Portugal.

I wonder if the Yard investigation has already started in Algarve. The trouble is the silence of the PJ.But Redwood will be prepared to talk to the media.

Having re-read the news article concerning the middle aged couple seen going into 5a on the 2nd May, it could be that the female Key witness was part of that couple who gave this info. They say an account of the evening was written but they were never formally interview by the Portuguese detectives.

They had left the tapas at nine on the night in question, the article goes on to say that the- WOMAN- stood on the balcony at 9.15 with a whisky.

A the couples home here two SY officers questioned then separately for three hours and got them to sign lengthy statements, they were then interviewed again to double check their information.

Officers asked the couple if they had seen JW, JT, GM, in the street at that time, they couple insist they did not.

This key witness and her account of the evening May 3 blows all known statements by the MC'S and their friends right out of the water.

Eddie and Keela alerted to items and places concerned with the McCanns - and importantly to no other items or places.

According to Eddie and Keela, the body of Madeleine McCann lay lifeless behind the sofa in Apartment 5a, clinging to the only thing from which she could derive any comfort; a soft toy called 'Cuddle cat'.

Kate's book 'madeleine', Page 219: "Did they really believe that a dog could smell the 'odour of death' three months later from a body that had been removed so swiftly?"

After forensic analysis of the 'Last Photo' there is little doubt now that the pool photo CANNOT POSSIBLY have been taken on the Thursday 3rd May, but most likely on the Sunday 29th April. So, where was Madeleine at lunchtime on Thursday?

Death Toll in McCann Case

Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after a 'Dossier' was handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room the next day. Brenda paid the price.

Colin Sahlke died suddenly in mysterious circumstances with a significant amount of morphine in his system. At the Inquest the coroner said there was no evidence as to how he had come to take morphine, and no needle mark was found.Gerry McCann had met Sahlkebefore he helped with the search but did not show any concern for his death.

Ex-Met DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window' of opportunity' from 3 minutes to 45 minutes, in accordance with their remit, to allow the staged abduction to happen.

The 'SunOnline' journalist, Tracey Kandohla: "A McCann pal told The Sun Online: "Some of the savings have been siphoned off from the Find Maddie Fund into a fixed asset account, which financial experts have advised them to do. It can be used for purchases like buying a house, or building equipment."
